But I think being able to work remotely and take more advantage of location not being a factor means more vacations and fun, not less. It is a fine balance to be sure. But 1 week a year unplugged or 5-10 weeks a year working from various locations on a workcation? A light load. Also the technology is useful for better enjoying the area you are exploring. Fine line indeed. @Charles – This advice is extremely valuable and often repeated.

Sometimes it is important to put the toys away and enjoy the things in life that nature provides. Plug-out and recharge your own batteries!
